The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Alaska Airlines in Apr 2011
Interview
There was a phone screen with a recruiter to basically go over my resume and ask basic questions. From there, it was an in-house interview that consisted of a panel interview with 4 people across the organization firing questions. The questions were anything from tell me about your background to behaviorial type questions. Then an hour interview with a higher up manager with some of the same type of questions. Both interviews included an HR rep who asked typical HR questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had a conflict on your team and how did you handle it?
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Alaska Airlines (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2024
Interview
Phone screen with recruiter that was not friendly at all, one zoom call w/ hiring manager, again not friendly, another one w/ skip manager who was ok, smart and interested in my experience, one in-person interview loop w/ cross functional team and again with hiring manager.
Very old school company and the offices are a little depressing, next to SeaTac. The process was long and with no clear ending or # of interviews. The interview questions were pretty basic, not really into behavioral questions. It was loooong. It was like 3 months from begging to the end.

Question 1
Are you proactive? (Literally, that was the question)
The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Alaska Airlines
Interview
Only had one call (initial screening) where the interviewer told me he would focus on whether I was a good fit for the role, which he did. There was no mention of whether the job was a good fit for me or questions about what I was looking for in a job. I haven’t had this type of ‘one way’ interview in a very long time, probably since my first job out of college.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Alaska Airlines (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2017
Interview
The interview process is very relational. The interviews are more about culture fit than anything. Technical skills are important, but at the more entry level positions they believe they can train the desired skills, but can't train to fit the culture.
